Objective-C is the main programming language used by Apple for the OS X and iOS operating systems and their respective frameworks, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch.
It is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language.

NSLog(@"%@", [myClass count]); // prints => 10
// Or using the custom getter and setter method defined in @interface:

// For convenience, you may use dot notation to set and access object instance variables:
myClass.count = 45;
NSLog(@"%i", myClass.count); // prints => 45
// Implement the methods in an implementation (MyClass.m) file:

///////////////////////////////////////
// Memory Management
///////////////////////////////////////
/*
For each object used in an application, memory must be allocated for that object. When the application
is done using that object, memory must be deallocated to ensure application efficiency.
Objective-C does not use garbage collection and instead uses reference counting. As long as
there is at least one reference to an object (also called "owning" an object), then the object
will be available to use (known as "ownership").
When an instance owns an object, its reference counter is increments by one. When the
object is released, the reference counter decrements by one. When reference count is zero,
the object is removed from memory.
With all object interactions, follow the pattern of:
(1) create the object, (2) use the object, (3) then free the object from memory.
*/
MyClass *classVar = [MyClass alloc]; // alloc sets classVar's reference count to one. Returns pointer to object.
[classVar release]; // Decrements classVar's reference count.
// retain claims ownership of existing object instance and increments reference count. Returns pointer to object.
MyClass *newVar = [classVar retain]; // If classVar is released, object is still in memory because newVar is owner.
[classVar autorelease]; // Removes ownership of object at end of @autoreleasepool block. Returns pointer to object.
// @property can use retain or assign as well for small convenient definitions.
@property (retain) MyClass *instance; // Release old value and retain a new one (strong reference).
@property (assign) NSSet *set; // Pointer to new value without retaining/releasing old (weak reference).
// Because memory management can be a pain, Xcode 4.2 and iOS 4 introduced Automatic Reference Counting (ARC).
// ARC is a compiler feature that inserts retain, release, and autorelease automatically for you, so when using ARC,
// you must not use retain, relase, or autorelease.
MyClass *arcMyClass = [[MyClass alloc] init]; // Without ARC, you will need to call: [arcMyClass release] after
// you're done using arcMyClass. But with ARC, there is no need. It will insert this release statement for you.
// As for the "assign" and "retain" @property attributes, with ARC you use "weak" and "strong".
@property (weak) MyClass *weakVar; // weak does not take ownership of object. If original instance's reference count
// is set to zero, weakVar will automatically receive value of nil to avoid application crashing.
@property (strong) MyClass *strongVar; // strong takes ownership of object. Ensures object will stay in memory to use.
// For regular variables (not @property declared variables), use the following:
__strong NSString *strongString; // Default. Variable is retained in memory until it leaves it's scope.
__weak NSSet *weakSet; // Weak reference to existing object. When existing object is released, weakSet is set to nil.
__unsafe_unretained NSArray *unsafeArray; // Like __weak but unsafeArray not set to nil when existing object is released.
